Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9739194A1] The object of the invention is a system for removing oil from the surface of water, comprising a rotating gripping element (4) fitted in a casing (2) through which water polluted by oil flows, and a means (6) for removing the material collected in the gripping members (5). A tunnel structure (3) is fitted inside the casing (2), its inner diameter being about the same size as the greatest outer diameter of the gripping element (4). The gripping element (4) is coaxial with the tunnel structure (2). The tunnel structure (3) provides an effective direction of the water flow through it and the gripping members (5).
